Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh salmon filet skin removed
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 Tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped
  • 3 Tablespoons green onion thinly sliced
  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 Tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions

  • Remove skin from salmon filet (*If you can, ask the person at the fish store to remove the skin for you to make it easier to cut). Cut salmon into large chunks and place in a food processor.
  • Add next 6 ingredients to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture forms a paste (don't over mix)
  • Transfer salmon mixture to a large bowl. Stir in chopped cilantro, sliced green onions and panko breadcrumbs until well combined. 
  • Line a plate with parchment paper. Shape into five patties and place on the parchment.
  • Heat a skillet on medium heat, add sesame oil to lightly coat the pan. Gently lay burgers in skillet and cook until crisp and well browned on first side approximately 7-10 minutes. Flip burgers and continue to cook until golden brown on second side, 7-10 mins. Serve and enjoy!

  • Note* can place the salmon mixture in the refrigerator for ~30 minutes so patties form more easily, but it is not necessary if you are short for time
  • Feel free to adjust amount of sriracha in recipe, pending how spicy you like it. I personally feel the 2 tsps in this recipe does not make the burgers taste spicy.
